PRDATR Report post Posted June 19, 2016 So, I have a G22 with the 9mm conversion barrel and the 40 barrel. If you want to meet up she can shoot it and see how easy it is to swap between barrels. I'm in the east valley and have ammo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maverick351 Report post Posted June 19, 2016 Prdatr I may take you up on that. I got a group of guys I'm meeting up with after an archery shoot that are bringing a multitude of 9'S and 40'S for her to try. So that will help her decide. The o e she liked was a sd40 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hoghntr Report post Posted June 20, 2016 S&W shield in 9mm. I own 1 and have pretty dang big hands so use the 8 rnd mag which is extended and the fit is better than any subcompact pistol I have ever held. Good luck! I would say the shield is a winner Btw in the shield 40 every review I have read says they are super front snappy so buyer beware. I love the 9!

jaymzth007 Report post Posted June 20, 2016 If looks aren't important, I would take a serious look at the Steyr M40-A1. Mine is one of my favorite pistols to shoot, and the recoil is the same or even less than my Glock 19 9mm. Super pleasant to shoot. Very under-rated gun.
